Chapter 323 One person can succeed, a group of people can be great

With an 11-point advantage, the Timberwolves entered the fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Garnett appeared on the bench in a towel.

Teammates went over to greet one by one, "KG, how are you?"

"I wanted to play, but you don't seem to need me." Garnett laughed at the score.

"No need tonight, we will win the game for you." Bai Jidong said.

"If the point difference is reduced to less than five points, I will play." Garnett said. "Okay, but you will definitely not be able to fight tonight."

Bai Jidong didn't want his wound to open. Although it wasn't a serious injury, if he was injured again, then Garnett might not even be able to play Game 2.

"It's the last quarter, let's see what else Dallas can do. Their defensive strategy against the White Wolves tonight is a failure." Smith said.

Barkley said: "If you want to limit the White Wolf, you must meet two points. One is a tough defender, and the other is an excellent basket protector. The two are indispensable. good case."

Smith said, "The way you put it, there's no defense against the white wolf."

"There is no way to defend. A star of the White Wolf level, don't expect to defend him to death." Barkley said: "The only thing you can do is to let him play in ways he is not used to as much as possible."

"Like Michael back then?" Smith asked. "It depends on which stage Michael is. Michael in the 90s is unsolvable, and Michael in the 80s is like the current white wolf." Barkley said.

Josh Howard's three-pointer played the horn of the Mavericks' counterattack. After Battier made a pass error, Jason Terry dribbled and counterattacked Hardaway to score two plus one and scored a free throw.

In less than half a minute, the Mavericks chased for six points.

Just as Sanders was about to pause, Bai Jidong took the ball and used gestures to stabilize the others.

"Score a goal!" Bai Jidong yelled.

"Yes, settle down and make the first goal!" Garnett couldn't sit still at all. He felt conflicted. He hoped that the team would win smoothly, and he also hoped that the Mavericks would catch up to 5 points so that he could play.

"It's like this again, one-on-one." Bai Jidong smiled and said, "Are you testing my one-on-one ability?"

"Let's do it." Finley didn't want to waste words with him.

"Before you start, you have to make it clear. If you make it so obvious that I'm going to fight one-on-one, I won't do what you want." Bai Jidong lowered his weight and continued to dribble the ball between his hips. Finley couldn't figure out the direction of his movement, and threw out of place.

Bai Weidong's approach was fierce, but not fast, which gave Bradley time to react.

Bai Jidong stopped suddenly, leaned sideways against Bradley, took the ball with his left hand, and threw it behind his neck.

"!￥!#!..." The wonderful passing action made the audience cheer, Olowokandi caught the ball and dunked.

He has received many such balls tonight, and this is his 20th point in this game.

It is worth mentioning that this is also his highest score in the playoffs.

"Michael Olowokandi continued to set a single-game scoring record in the playoffs. Michael's 20th point came from the White Wolf's 10th assist." Smith reported the data like a robot.

"Sean is a good helper, but not a good rim protector," Barkley said, shaking his head.

"Who, in your opinion, is a good rim protector?" Smith asked.

"Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Hakeem Olajuwon" Barkley listed a bunch of names, all of them are superstars.

Smith smiled wryly: "According to what you said, there are not many good rim protectors in today's league." It will be the finisher for Minnesota." Barkley predicted in advance the two teams that will meet in the Western Conference Finals.

Olowokandi has never felt so confident. After college, this feeling is rare.

He didn't expect that he could score so many points in the playoffs. Years of ups and downs in his career have worn away his ambition.

Today, he is just a mediocre starting center.

He thought so himself, at least until tonight, he thought so.

"Olo, shut up those who say you are a parallel importer." Bai Jidong said to Olowokandi.

Olowokandi said to himself: "I am a parallel importer."

"Be confident, you are the real you tonight." Bai Jidong said, "Call them."

"I will try my best." The flame hidden deep in Olowokandi's heart is evolving into a raging fire.

Sanders watched all this silently, "KG, you can put on your uniform now."

"What?" Garnett felt that he still had a chance to play.

"You won't be able to fight tonight," Sanders said. "White wolves won't let them catch up."

"That's right, how could this guy let Dallas catch up?" Although they only cooperated for one season, Garnett knew this partner better than anyone.

"He is different from Kevin." Sanders saw something else in Bai Jidong.

Great players make those around them great, and the greatness of those around them makes them great.

This is the case with Jordan, Russell, Duncan, Magician, Bird, etc.They make teammates and coaches, they have great personalities, they don't complain about this being bad or that being bad, there is only one reason for being bad, that is you are not good, you are not great enough.

Sanders is familiar with Bai Jidong during the Bulls period. Bai Jidong at that time was an enhanced version of Pippen, nothing more.

His arrival can make up for Garnett's lack of offensive ability, his selfless style of play is also in tune with Garnett, and his solid defense can form the best iron gate in the league with Garnett.

This was the original purpose of Sanders and the management. As the season progressed, Sanders got to know Bai Jidong again.

The goodbye in the name of Jordan's successor took the initiative to erase the mark of the Bulls and dispel all traces of himself as a Bulls player.

He gained his own wolf heart in Greenland and became the current White Wolf.

He became one with Garnett, he and Hardaway and others called brothers, and he also led Olowokandi, a lost lamb who lost confidence in himself.

Sanders liked Garnett, who he watched grow up.

However, if he were to choose the best player for the Timberwolves, Sanders would choose Bai Jidong.

Finley tentatively dribbled the ball under the crotch, switched rhythms back and forth, and called Nowitzki for a pick-and-roll.

Bai Jidong didn't pay attention and was blocked by Nowitzki.

Nowitzki immediately cut in, Bai Jidong followed, Finley saw that the time was right, and wanted to drop the ball to the basket for Nowitzki to attack the basket.

Olowokandi jumped up with all his strength, raised his hands high, and blocked Finley's pass in a mysterious way.

"Olo, it's so broken!" Bai Jidong yelled loudly, picking up the ball on the ground, "Run, run, run!"

Hearing Bai Jidong's shout, Olowokandi ran forward with all his might, he ran harder than anyone else.

In Olowokandi's eyes, he seemed to see his former self, the high-spirited self.

Emotions are contagious, and Olowokandi's emotions are contagious to all teammates.

Bai Jidong long pass to Hardaway, Hardaway and Battier are self-evident, in order to make Olowokandi close to the basket, they have cooperated accordingly.

In the end, Hardaway passed an alley-oop to Olowokandi, and Olowokandi jumped up to catch the ball and scored a slam dunk, continuing to set a new high for his playoff scoring.

"Fuck! Fuck!" Olowokandi roared.

Hardaway followed up and slapped his ass, "Nice job, big man!" "If you keep up with this performance, KG won't have to fight in the next game." Battier followed up and said.

Olowokandi asked, "White Wolf, am I playing well?"

"I'm proud of you, brother." Bai Jidong patted him on the back, "Defend, let's defend again!"

"Defense a strike!" Battier yelled.

Even a veteran like Johnson felt his blood was burning, "Did you young people suddenly take the wrong medicine? Old men like me are not suitable for blood boiling."

In the next game, Olowokandi kept scoring. No matter how the Mavericks defended, the Timberwolves used various methods to assist Olowokandi to score.

For example, Bai Jidong broke through and passed the ball, which is the most conventional method; at the back, Battier and Hardaway interspersed with running positions, multiple attacks, and then took advantage of the chaos to pass the ball to Olowokandi.

"In any case, I didn't expect Michael Olowokandi to become Minnesota's main attack point. They obviously had better options, but they chose the worst-looking one." Kenny Smith commented on the Timberwolves' strategy.

"Some people say that tonight is Olowokandi's night. What do you think about it?" Many reporters surrounded Olowokandi, who scored 36 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks.Olowokandi was sweating profusely, a little uncomfortable with the attention, "This is not my night alone, this is a night for a group of us." Olowokandi said: "One person may be able to succeed, but A group of people can be great, and I have a group of great and unselfish teammates."

Bai Jidong was also surrounded by reporters. His statistics were 32 points, 7 rebounds and 16 assists.

"Dallas didn't respect Olo enough. They thought they just needed to take care of the four of us. So, we discussed it, OK, let Olo destroy them. Later, you all saw that Olo just took one goal and one goal like that. Put in the basket, he destroyed Dallas."

"KG's injury is not serious. I think he should be able to play in Game 2. The specifics depend on the arrangement of the team doctor and coach." Bai Jidong answered the question about Garnett's injury by the way.

Everyone has seen the signs through tonight's game. The Mavericks have played all their cards, and the Timberwolves can't do anything with many changes.

The gap between the two teams is obvious.

　There is no big goal at the moment, please ask for 400 recommendation tickets this week, now there are about [-], don't be shy, come here.
